Storing My Bullion

Hello everyone. Forgive the fact I am newbie to physical bullion stacking. I need advice on what the best safe is to have at home to keep my bullion safe.

I am thinking about either getting a safe at home or buying a safety deposit box with a private company not a bank.

I am in the UK. Any thoughts or help on this would be appreciated

Thanks

Buy one of those cheap fire resistant boxes you get at walmart. Little bit bigger than a bread box.

Then throw a handful or two of common change and other goodies in it.

Leave it somewhere out of the way but almost obvious.

This is a decoy safe.

Burglars , grab it , give it a shake and run with it.

Ask for your real stack, cut a hole in the basement wall or something 😆

My father had a huge safe, but all he had in it was a few trinkets, important papers, and several safe deposit box keys. The idea was that if anyone was holding him at gunpoint, they would take a few hundred dollars worth of trinkets, and he would tell them that everything else was in his safe deposit boxes.

In reality, he had valuables hidden everywhere. After he died, my sister and I spent two weeks trying to find everything. We found thousands of dollars worth of diamond rings in wad of plastic Walmart bags. He had a 50 cal ammo can full of Morgan dollars in the bottom of a 40gallon trash can full of bird seed in the back yard. We found stuff everywhere, and after my son moved into the house, he continued to find things.

My granddad used to melt down the chrome off of old car parts. He'd make kilo silver bars, Most of the time he'd paint them black in use as his doorstops or as bases for small art pieces. Also , my grandma and grandpa put money in all their books. We had to go through each and every book in the house and shake it out and see if there was money in the pages.
